Important piece by @JohnSpringford, challenging the conventional wisdom that centrist parties need to tack to the right in order to win back votes from far-right populists.
New @CER_EU insight by @JohnSpringford - policies to accommodate populists reduce growth and weaken public finances, thereby raising the far-right vote. Read here: https://t.co/at6qab5tWv

@CER_IanBond “EU governments must stop hoping that the war will be resolved with minimal effort from them - either because the US will deliver a peace deal, or because Ukraine will make big enough concessions to buy Putin off", says Bond. Read the report here: https://t.co/SjgiBUl735

a very interesting policy brief on EVs

A fine column on China by @CindyXiaodanYu. She is right: avoid simplistic talk of China as good or evil. It does some dreadful things, but the UK national interest means we shd engage economically. The govt is in a similar place, but can't articulate the policy so well as Cindy.
The debate over whether the UK should label China an “enemy” or a “threat” has reignited with fury after the collapsed Westminster China spy trial. The anger is understandable. If the CPS is right and the case was dropped because of the government’s equivocal language on China,

Yes, I enjoyed seeimg Albert Herring at @E_N_O. Plenty of good music and funny in places. ENO deserve credit for consistently putting on Britten. But why don't @ROH_London do Britten (or Tippett)?
Very happy to be at @E_N_O this evening, especially to hear and see my esteemed colleague and wonderful friend @DanielCohenK conduct a very fine Albert Herring. Classy stuff going on in the pit and on stage!!!

So sad to hear about the death of my friend and almost-neighbour Conor Gearty. He combined charm, brainpower, kindness, humour and irreverence. He was also the most fantastic dad. He was brilliant at so many things: writing, speaking, teaching, the law, politics, human rights -
It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the death of Professor Conor Gearty KC (Hon), FBA.
